True Blue Weekend

True Blue is when we come together to celebrate memories of our time on Oyaron Hill.

September 25-27, 2026

What a weekend! From big celebrations and exciting games to tailgates, traditions, and plenty of Hartwick pride, True Blue Weekend 2026 was one to remember.

Hartwick’s True Blue Weekend 2026 Highlights

A true Hartwick community celebration where students, alumni, family and friends can connect with Hartwick campus life, athletics, academics, Pine Lake and more!

A large group of people on a golf course, hands raised, holding a banner that reads 'LIVE LIKE NICK'.
A group of five people, including three women, a boy, and a girl, stand by a golf cart draped with a Greek flag at The Nick Lambros Golf Tournament. Two young men and golf bags are in the background near a clubhouse.
A large group of diverse people of all ages smiling for a photo outdoors in front of a white building with green trees in the background. Many wear name tags, and one person has a medal.
Two smiling women, one with blonde hair and one with grey hair and sunglasses, pose for a photo outdoors with other people in the background.
A group of thirteen smiling adults, some wearing Hartwick branded clothing, pose for a photo inside a white tent.
An outdoor sports field with green turf and blue end zones, surrounded by forested hills. Spectators are seated on a grassy slope and in bleachers, watching players on the field under an overcast sky.
A football field with players in blue and white uniforms, some stretching, and others in yellow uniforms in the distance. A blue fence with 'Hartwick Hawks' text is in the background.
A women's lacrosse team in white and blue jerseys stands on a green field with lacrosse sticks, in front of a blue scoreboard and a stadium sign.
A choir performs on stone steps in front of a red brick building, 'The Wright Family Overlook,' with trees and an overcast sky.
A large group of adults, mostly older, posed in two rows for a photo outdoors. Many wear lanyards. A grassy hill and a brick building are in the background.
Four smiling women, likely alumni, stand together outdoors, wearing name tags for a 'True Blue Weekend' event.
